AuthorTopic: How to use an older Xfce version? (Read 1543 times)

I used VL 5.9 for some time and was quite satisfied with the Xfce desktop it provided. Recently I had to reinstall Linux and chose VL 7.0 rc2. It works fine, but I don't like at all the new look of the Xfce desktop. Is it possible to revert to an earlier version of Xfce, or to set up the new version to look like the older one?

I only have a problem with moving the Xfce panel to the bottom of my screen. The only option I can choose is whether panel 1 (Xfce panel) and/or panel 2 (quick start ribbon thing at the bottom) should be horizontal or vertical.

This means that the Xfce panel is either on top (when the horizontal option is selected) OR at the left of the screen (with the vertical option selected). There in no option to move it to the bottom!

The panel for xfce4-4.8.0 (vl7.0std) has handlebars on either side. Just grab and drag it to the bottom with the mouse cursor.
